Hi All,
This will only take two minutes of someone's time...
Can someone please help me by checking the child locks on their Leon and tell me if they are a mirror image of each other (vertical for locked, 45 degrees or so towards the front of the car for unlocked), or if it's anti-clockwise for lock and clockwise for release on both sides?
I've got a failed door lock motor on my driver's side rear and it's also got the child lock on, so I don't have the option of opening it from the inside and overriding the lock. I've fashioned a tool that I've successfully used to release the child lock on the passenger side (big step in the right direction). Unfortunately I'm struggling a bit to get it to locate in the driver's side child lock and it occurred to me they may not be mirror-imaged.
If someone can help I'll then know if I just need to persevere with tool mk1 or if I need to fashion tool mk2 (essentially the same as mk1 but longer and works at a different range of angles).
Cheers, Ste
